- "In 1987/1988 Gloria Coates wrote a solo for alto recorder in collaboration with the recorder player Dörte Nienstedt. Extreme dynamic increases, simultaneous playing and singing, hard accents, fluttering tonguing, multiphonics, upward glissandi and vibrato go beyond the usual framework of music for recorder and led to the title Breacking through.
- The version for transverse flute was written with Edmund Wächter (premiere 19 October 1988). The main aim was to utilise the greater range of the transverse flute and to transfer the expressive elements. Glissandi and multiphonics in particular demanded new fingerings. As no specific sounds were required for the multiphonics, but the additional notes were to determine the colour and expression of the main tone, there were many possibilities here, which the composer had played for two days in various combinations until she finally found her favoured sounds in this empirical approach. As it was ultimately an independent piece, it was also to be given its own title and after the first performances took place under various names (Breaking Through III, Breaking out), Reaching for the Moon finally emerged.
- Two additional versions with tape were also heard at the premiere: in Fiori, the flute enters into a dialogue with the perking and chattering of the cockatiel of a friend, Princess Maria Josepha of Saxony. And in Fiori and the Princess, the princess also takes an active part in the conversation. Here it becomes clear that Reaching for the Moon was also conceived as bird music, for which Gloria Coates received her first inspiration from a cockatoo in a pet shop.

- This radiant Sinfonia opens Part 2 of Bachs Christmas Oratorio (1734) - the only cantata in the cycle without an opening chorus. Instead, Bach lets the orchestra speak, capturing the moment heaven and earth briefly become one. Its the sole instrumental movement in the entire Oratorio, and a rare example of Bach's use of purely orchestral writing in his sacred works.
- Scored for strings, continuo, two flutes, and a remarkable quartet of oboes (two oboes d'amore and two oboes da caccia), the music is built on contrasts: strings, long associated with angels, play the gentle rocking rhythm of the siciliano, while the reed instruments - evoking shepherds - sustain bourdon-like tones in a rustic pastorale. The result is a soft yet richly textured soundscape, full of warmth and wonder.
- In this arrangement, weve added two alto flutes to deepen the resonance of the reed group. Both alto parts may be played on C flutes if preferred, and all options are included. For added spatial magic, we suggest separating the 'orchestra' (three top flutes and bass flute) from the 'oboe' quartet (two flutes and two alto flutes) in performance.

- A new, bumper version of our best selling Christmas party piece!
- The Twelve Keys Of Christmas was written as a fun and challenging version of the ever-popular, interminable carol, but with a key change every verse! Almost every major key is used, except for one in the parallel minor, and although it starts simply, the piece quickly becomes sillier and sillier. The first three verses are written in the style of every theme-and-variations ever, before more and more quotes and mashups start to appear.
- As well as many timeless Christmas songs, the arranger has also managed to use bits of the Nutcracker, Peter And The Wolf, and quotes from all your favourite Wild West film themes. Ending in a way only Prokofiev could, this piece is sure to delight your audiences and get them playing 'spot the tunes'.

- These three carols were composed in 1923 and first performed in the same year in a version for SATB choir and orchestra under the baton of Ralph Vaughan Williams, to whom they are dedicated.
- The most widely known of the set is perhaps the tender Scots lullaby Balulalow, which frequently features in carol services and festive concerts. Its serene melody is gently supported in the second verse by a rocking accompaniment and crowned with a high, pianissimo descant, creating a sense of stillness and wonder.
